ACCELERATION

In rowing, a “Power 10” is an acceleration move.

It is a series of ten strokes taken with stepped up power and speed to accelerate past the competitive field AND WIN.We help our nonprofit clients execute the dry-land version of a Power 10.

On the water, successful acceleration depends on “catching” the water crisply with the oar, tremendous drive through the stroke, and finishing cleanly.

On land, successful acceleration depends on catching the attention of top community leaders with a well-conceived strategic plan, driving through our high-speed capital campaign process, and finishing on-time, over-goal, and with a renewed client constituency excited to get to work implementing the initiative.

What Our Clients Say

  • One of the reasons I personally recommend Sean and Amity and the top-notch team at POWER 10 is that they are extremely effective at using economic and fiscal impact analysis – “hard” numbers – to make a compelling and persuasive case to potential funders. In this economy, this is more important than ever because competition for the philanthropic dollar is very tight.

    Juli Vaso Golemi, Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, Economist

  • I personally attribute much of our success to POWER 10’s professionalism in managing the tiniest details of our campaign, their integrity, and their day-to-day proactive leadership. Under POWER 10’s management, we raised nearly 50% more than we had during our previous campaign. That’s right – 50%! We fully intend to hire POWER 10 to manage our next campaign and I highly recommend them to my peers in the economic development industry and beyond.

    Nick Masino, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce / ACCE Board Member

  • The Arvada Chamber of Commerce hired POWER 10 as we struggled to align our budget to the needs of our community around talent, housing, childcare, and more. This was the BEST decision we have ever made! Through our capital campaign, we increased investment in our organization by $3 million. The POWER 10 model WORKS and has set us up for long-term success!

    Kami Welch, Arvada Chamber of Commerce / ACCE Board Member

  • I highly recommend POWER 10 – I simply could not have done this without them! I was appreciative of everything they did – from how they worked with us to develop a strong plan and Case for Support to how they make the Ask. Their expertise gave my volunteer leaders and me the confidence to go forward and ultimately, to make this campaign a huge success. And we brought in about a DOZEN 6-FIGURE PLEDGES!
